ISO 14000 is an international series of environmental management systems (EMS) standards.
The main standards in the ISO 14000 family are:
- ISO 14001:2004 Environmental management systems -- Requirements with guidance for use
Specifies the requirements for an environmental management system. It is the standard against which
organizations are assessed. Fulfilling these requirements demands objective evidence which can be audited to
demonstrate that the environmental management system is operating effectively in conformity to the standard. It
is generic and flexible enough to apply to any organization producing and/or manufacturing any product, or
providing a service.
- ISO 14004:2004 - Environmental management systems -- General guidelines on principles, systems and
support techniques
Provides guidelines on the elements of an environmental management system and its implementation, and discusses
principal issues involved.
The following are the key elements of an ISO 14001:2004 EMS:
- Environmental policy - the organization states its intentions and commitment to environmental
performance.
- Planning - the organization analyzes the environmental impact of its operations.
- Implementation and operation - the development and execution of processes to realize environmental goals
and objectives.
- Checking and corrective action - monitoring and measurement of environmental indicators to ensure that
goals and objectives are met.
- Management review - review of the EMS by the organization’s top management to ensure its continuing
suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.
- Continual improvement - An EMS enables an organization to control the environmental impact of its
activities, products and services by establishing targets and objectives related to identified environmental
management goals.
Kaizen Consulting Group's Business Process Methodology
Kaizen Consulting Group uses a unique Business Process flowcharting methodology as the core principle to
customise the ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System (EMS) for each of our client.
Using the existing natural business flow of our client's as the framework to build the Environmental Management
System, we then map the ISO 14001:2004 requirements into the established framework to identify where the individual
requirements of the standard apply within the business. Each requirement is examined to determine which part of the
business process is affected by the requirement or already satisfies the requirement.
Our approach complements the existing working methods and organisational culture, rather than an imposed a
bureaucracy of control solely developed for the sake of ISO 14001:2004 certification.
